Michael John Neill's genealogy website. Things that cross my path, general research suggestions, and whatever else ...with a little bit of attitude. I don't post "news" just to post it, never post a press release (edited or otherwise), don't feign excitement, and pretty much say what I think.

Where Would You Go Next?

If a relative tells you that:

"Your ancestor Barbara Haase died in Warsaw, Hancock County, Illinois, in 1903"

where would you research next? What record would you use?

Just post a quick suggestion of the record type you'd search next.

We did this as an exercise in my beginning genealogy class and got some good discussion, so I thought I'd post it here.

Note: I've already researched Barbara pretty extensively--I'm not looking for anyone to research her for me.

Got a Kindle?
